[MaxisFB_CS] Hi

Using this plan now.

No option to extend validity except on reloading (every RM1 = 1 day).

But some say by buying data plan will extend validity (say your validity remaining is 10 days, buy a 30-day pass/data plan will extend validity to 30-days from pass/data plan purchase).

Exactly.

PANTAS if want long term number keeping or light data and call use.

Prepaid Plan 1.0 is more suitable for consistent monthly use. Also Sabah special pass can only be subscribed under Prepaid 1.0.

Never tested/ encountered it.

I always reload RM100 in one go and buy passes every 30 days.

Pantas plan - any reload amount above RM10 will only get 30 days validity.

Prepaid 1.0 plan - RM1 for 1 day.

Pantas back to Prepaid 1.0 is free.

Because the difference:

Hotlink Prepaid 1.0 Plan has its own Pantas passes (currently in website)

Hotlink Pantas Plan has its own passes (the ones in your app).

Which Plan are you on? Can see in your Hotlink app under the "myHotlink" bottom tab.

It would have been most convenient to see all Hotlink lines under 1 login. I have 4 lines and it is a pain.

They can do it for Maxis postpaid, so the fact that it is not available to prepaid is nothing but intentional.

The new offer is under Hotlink Prepaid 1.0 Plan - you can choose "Unlimited" internet pass or "Pantas" internet pass.

Pantas Plan has different offerings. And no new offerings, yet..

Limited time offer: -

Just reload RM1 to re-validate then RM30 for 365 days.

Small matter.

😅

I noticed minimum reload is RM5 using app.

RM1 is through Sh**ee sellers (share top-up style).

But why not just reload RM30 on 06.12.2024 and immediately buy 365-days validity?

For Pantas Plan, any reload of RM10.00 and above will give you maximum 30 days only. Reload RM100 also get 30 days only.

So you reload RM30 on 06.12.2024, you can wait until 29 days later then only buy 365-days. Means you have more than 365-days for your RM30.

But seriously, why need to go through the hassle just to stretch 1 extra day? Not worth the time.

Or... To stretch your RM30 even further, reload RM10 every 30 days until you have RM30 (i.e. 90 days later). Then use the whole RM30 and buy 365-days validity.

So you will have 365-days + 90 days for the same RM30.

Your intended way is the easiest and hassle-free. No need to think so much, too.

BUT If it is just a secondary phone for whatsapp and you really wanna stretch your money: -

Pay RM10 (get 30 days validity) - immediately use that RM10 to buy 5GB that will last 365-days.

Then when 30 days validity about to expire, top-up another RM10 and extends another 30 days. Repeat again for 2 rounds until you have RM30 credit.. then only you buy 365 days account validity.

So for RM40, you have gotten yourself 120 days + 365 days account validity in total 😆

Yes.. it is available like the previous Pakej Rahmah.




BUT..... last time I purchased once (Pakej Rahmah) and it was always the bucket to be utilised first eventhough you purchase a faster internet package. So I was stuck with slow 3Mbps.. I had to port out and ported in again to get rid of it 😅

If you are going for a random number, could be faster just buy at Maxis stores and activate on the spot.

the current Hotlink Prepaid when you first activate simpack/ port-in is "Hotlink Prepaid 1.0" - this one RM1 reload is 1 day validity. I reloaded RM100 many times and gotten 100 days each time.

Pantas plan - RM10 and anything above will only get you maximum 30 days (try reloading RM100.00 and you will still get 30 days).

Targeting different users - Pantas plan is for those that hardly use their smartphone but still require smartphone functionalities.

If i remember correctly, change of plan will give you 30 days on the new plan (a reset of sort). But if it doesnt, then just reload as low as possibly can (try Share Top-up RM1/ RM3 from a friend also on Hotlink prepaid?)

Or save yourself from headache, reload RM5 now and switch over to Pantas Plan. See whether your account validity is 30 days. If yes, then untung 1 month (at the cost of RM2 😀). If no 30 days validity given, barulah reload RM10 to get 30 days.

If you reload RM10 before changing plan, you will only get 10 days (as you are still on Hotlink Prepaid 1.0).

Working fine now.

Probably you need to log out (if you are in the app already but app showing "Refresh"). Trigger login OTP again.
